I’m still kind of sceptical about this. You could always install custom apps onto your iPhone as long as you had a Mac and you had the source. I’m imagining that you now still need everything, except that you can install packaged apps. I’d love if it was different/like on android, but the past has shown us that big companies often know their ways around.

You could but you also had to reload them every 2 weeks which is a real PITA, or pony up the $100. And keep Xcode up to date which uses a ton of space.

Hmm, that’s true. The two weeks probably also wouldn’t be okay.
